Thats what it was to be alive. To move about in a cloud of ignorance to go up and down trampling on the feelings of those about you. To spend and waste time as though you had a million years. To be always at the mercy of one self-centered passion, or another. Now you know thats the happy existence you wanted to go back to. Ignorance and blindness.
